" It is a just observation of Rapin, that in the fifth century Christianity was deba-ed with a vast number of human inventions, the simplicity of its government and discipline was reduced to a system of clerical power; its worship was polluted with rites and ceremonies borrowed from the Heathen, and the Bishops of Rome had begun to claim the right of exercising authority over such parts of the Christian world as were slavish enough to submit to their jurisdiction. Thus Popery was first formed, although it was many years afterwards before it advanced to such a state of com pletion so as to resemble, in every thing but name, the proscribed religion of the Pagans."—P. 19.

Error in an Established Church, we well know, there can be none. But the Apostles! The Apostles! We confess our heart yearns towards such estrays from the fold. True—most true— they had not the advantage of being born in the second or third Century of the Christian era : nay, we will, without hesitation, admit that they were possibly, perhaps, prejudiced from the force of example, in favour of the worship they adopted, and its phraseo logy, nor bore up as they might otherwise have done against the disadvantages of the Century in which it pleased Providence they should live. But, after all, what if the Church of England should boast her triumph somewhat more meekly ! If there is no insolence meant to them in the term Trinity, it looks like it, and such a hazard might well be spared. It is surely showing up an omission, whether voluntary or involuntary, a little too bluntly and harshly. And without being the dupe of her philanthropy (we cannot forget the men the Apostles were) could she not still preserve a certain doctrine (which, from the extreme unwariness of their expressions might, it must be owned, almost seem absolutely unknown to these earlier preachers of the Gospel), by praying to the Father, in the name of the Son, for the Holy Spirit ? Would the Church of Eng land plunge herself at once into a desperate and unholy Unit-a rianism, by good.naturedly throwing a veil over the defects or obliquities of the only Apostolic model of devotion ?

EXAMINATION ON FRIDAY AT MANCHESTER (From the /Wane/tester Guardian of Saturday. ) The course of agitation of this man has been arrested f: the present by his apprehension on a charge a-ising out ol the 'proceedings of a meeting held at Leigh, on the 13th el November. We understand that the warrant against him was signed by two Magistrates of this county (T. B. W. Sanderson, Esq., of Chowbent, and John Kenworthy;' gsq., of Astley), and was endorsed by James Jowett, Esq., of Ashton, as a Magistrate of the county ef Chester, Stephens's residence being, we be lieve, at Dui:infield, in that county. This warrant was di rected especially to Henry Goddard •and J. Shaekcll, two officers from Bow-street, who have been in this town for some days. These officers proceeded to Ashton on Thurs day morning last, and, accompanied by Mr. Matthew Owen, deputy constable of that town, waited a favour. it opportunity for apprehending Se - Theta. This oc curred about a quarter before two o'clock fir the after noon. The Bush 'public-house in Stamford-street, kept MtealasereseDuke, has, for some time past, been a fa ioerite house of meeting for Radical Committees, and one of Stephens's places of resort. Stephens was seen to come out of this house. Mr. Owen, who was on the watch, conveyed the signal agreed on to the Bow-street officers, who allowed Stephens to come along the road, past the new church, till he was opposite to a private house, the door of which was open. Goddard then stopped up to him, and said, " Mr. Stephens, I am one of the officers of Bow.street, I have a warrant to ap prehend you; just step in here." Stephens wanted to be allowed to see the warrant on the road; but Goddard said he would show it him inside, and he took him by the arm into the hOuse, and then handed to him the vfarrant, which Stephens read and examined, and merely observed, as he returned it, " Well, it's a legel instrument." The officers procured a post-chaise, and brought the reverend agitator off to this town immediately, They proceeded to the York Hotel, where Stephens partook of lunch, and then they went in another post chaise, accompanied by Mr. Owen, to Worsley, where the ma gistrates of the Leigh division are in the habit of transacting their magisterial business. They left this town about 4 o'clock, and at five they reached the Grapes Inn, Worsley, where a fortnightly Petit Sessions -is held by the Magistrates of that district. Here Goddard left him in thelcustody of Shackell and Owen, while he proceeded in a post- chaise to Leigh, to see the magistrates' clerk, and to make arragemente, if neces sary, for the examination of the prisoner before the Magistrates. Meanwhile the unusual proceedings attracted considerable at tention in the quiet village of Worsley. Col. Wemyss, the assistant adjutant -general in the northern district, was in the house, atterded by an orderly sergeant. Lord F. Egerton, who is residing at Worsley Hall soon afterwards arrived at the inn. We understand that, although his Lordship's name is in the Commission of the peace for this county, he has never qualified —or, at least, he has not taken the oaths rendered necessary on the accession of her Majesty the Queen. About a quarter before seven o'clock some of Stephens's co-agitators arid other friends arrived, including Mr. J. W. Hodgetts, Mr. Edward Nightingale, and Mr. R. J. Richardson, of this town and Salford. We understand that these parties, or some of them, had an interview with the prisoner in the presence of Shackell and Owen; and that their object, beyond that of ten dering counsel, advice, and assistance to the prisoner, was to offer bail for him, in case ofa hearing and committal, or remand ing by the Magistrates. About twenty-five minutes before eight o'clock a troop of the 2d Dragoons, or Queen's Bays, consisting of nearly thirty men, under the command of a lieutenant, arrived at the inn ; and, after an interview between that officer and Colonel Wemyss, their horses were sent to stables in the village, and a few of the men were stationed in the house. After all the parties concerned, including a formidable phalanx of reporters, had waited for several hours, Goddard returned from Leigh, about a quarter before eleven, accompa nied by thelMagistrates' clerk ; and, we believe, they had an interview with Lord F. Egerton and with Colonel Wemyss. We understand that the causes of this delay were the follow ing :—When Goddard arrived at Leigh, he found that Mr. Smith ; the clerk to the Magistrates, was from home, but was expected back shortly. He did not return, however, for a considerable time ; and at length when he did arrive, and ac companied Goddard to the residence of Mr. Sanderson, at Chowbent, it was too late to give, an opportunity for getting together the witnesses, and proceeding to the examination that evening, at Worsley. Mr. Sanderson, therefore, directed that the officers should convey Stephens back to Manchester, and lodge him in the New Bailey, for examination before the Magistrates the next day (Friday). The cavalry were again assembled and mounted ; and Ste phens, having beet, placed in a post-chaise, between Goddard end Shaekell, they set out for Manchester, preceded by their military escort, leaving Worsley about midnight. On reaching the New Bailey, about half-past one o'clock, the officers placed their prisoner in the care of Mr. Charles Walker, the gate keeper and turnkey, who locked him up f or t h e night, we be lieve, in the barrister's room. Before twelve o'clock on Friday the entrance to the New Bailey was surrounded by a great number of persons, drawn thither by their curiosity to hear and see the proceedings. In the absence of Mr. Mau le, the stipendiary Magistrate, through indisposition, J. F. Foster, Esq., chairman of the Salford as in attendance. There were several oth er Magis trates was Mayor of :‘ B l e a n n e c h h , es a t n e i r o ; ng st ia a i v o h r om yva w tk e i n ni o , ti o e f ed ß T ol . to P n ;tte T r . , W. Sanderson, Esq., of Chowbent; J o hn Kenworthy, Esq., of Leigh the last two gentlemen the M ag i s t rates w h o granted the warrant for the apprehension of Steph ens .) Th ere - Were also on the bench Thomas Evans, Esq., b oroug h reeve o f M a n c hester; Col. Wemyss, assistant adjutant-general of the northern district ; R. P. Willock, Esq., Postmaster; Thos. Townend, Esq. ; and Mr. Geo. Wood, one of the constables of Manchester. Mr. John Law was employed to attend as attorney for the prisoner, and a number of Stephens's friends and admirers were present, including Mr. R. J. Richardson, Secretary to the Council of the Manchester Political Union, and Secretary also to the Anti Poor-law AsSociation, and other Radical bodies ; Mr. William Willis, bookseller, of this town ; Mr. Elijah Dixon ; Mr. Edward Nightingale, of the General Abercromby tap-room, Great Ancoat's street; Mr. Matthew Fletcher, of Bury, usually styled by his co-aei tators "Dr. Fletcher;" James Duke, of the Bush, Ash ton, &c. About twenty minutes after one o'clock, Mr. Richard Oastler entered the court, and was in close communication with Fletcher, Nightingale, Willis, Duke, of A s h ton , an d others. Mr. Oastler looked pale, feeble, and much older than when we saw him a few months ago. At twenty-five minutes past two o'clock Mr. Kenworthy came upon the bench again, and took the chair, stating that the ease would come on shortly ; and immediately after Mr. Duck, the barrister, took his seat at the table, appenring, for the prosecution. Mr. Smith, the Clerk to the Wonky Ma gistrates, took his se a a os t , c a l po t .ca t kc h .e e d d A e a s ft k t et b rh e ea l o s w bhao t rr h t ea pause, Mr. t w ; ee Ken worthy I nv ...e e st 'p e n i r ta i n in a l o t u , e nt yeesr(bwSehftooe before Stephens s t w he only Magistrate on t h e b ench at this three besides Major Watkins) said that the Court would now adjourn to half-past three o'clock. Mr. Richard Oastler—Would you pardon me if ask for an order to see Mr. Stephens in the meantime. Mr. Law—Will you allow me, Mr: Oastler, for one moment to take precedence of you ? (Mr. Oastler sat down.) This morning, not knowing who were the committing Magistrates, I made an application to Mr. Foster to be allowed to see Mr. Stephens, and he gave no opinion on the one side or on the other; but said when the committing Magistrates came be would consult with them. He applied to Mr. Potter and Major Watkins, and they referred him again to the committing Magistrates, and he, therefore, now applied to Mr. Kenworthy. Mr. Kenworthy acceded to Mr. Law's application. Mr. Oast ler repeated his application to Mr. Kenworthy; but the Ma gistrate said he had already given free access to the prisoner's solicitor, and he thought that no other person was competent to see him. The Court then adjourned. The hearing of the case took place after the usual busi ness of the day, the Magistrate on the bench being John Kenworthy, Esq., in the chair, and J. B. Smith, Esq. Amongst other spectators, we noticed, in addition to those before named, Mr. John Cobbett, the barrister, and Mr.. Samuel Fielden. Mr. DUCK said he appeared before the Bench to support a charge against the prisoner at the bar, the nature of which would probably be best stated from the warrant. It was therein charged that he did, on the 13th November last, at the market. place of Leigh, in this county, with a great number of evil disposed and disorderly persons, assemble together, in a tumul tuous manner, with banners, flags, and ensigns; and that then and there, by loud shouts, and by the discharge of fire-arms, they terrified the inhabitants of Leigh ; and that he did, by violent and inflam ma t ory l anguage , endeavour to excite the persons so assembled to violence against the persons and pro. perty of certain of her Majesty's liege subjects in Leigh and the neighbourhood. He (Mr. Duck) had had an opportunity cf looking over the depositions, which appeared to him fully to substantiate the charge as alleged, and lie proposed to call two or three witnesses to show that the prisoner was guilty of the offence charged, and then it would be his (Mr. Duck's) duty to apply to the Bench to have the prisoner committed or held to bail. The Learned Gentleman then called James Johnson, linen-draper, of Leigh, who, being sworn, stated that he was present at a meeting held at Leigh, on the 13th of Nov. last. He was at a window in the third story of the Fox public-house. He should suppose there were from two to three thousand people at the meeting. They com menced assembling about nine o'clock in the morning, and continued to do so till the arrival of Mr. Stephens, which was about twelve, when a person was called to the chair. There was a cart for hustings, and Mr. Stephens spoke from it for two hours and thirty-five minutes, when witness went away. Witness was between forty and fifty yards off, and could hear what be said, except sometimes when he turned to address the people on the other side. For the first half hour, witness thought he never heard a gentleman address an assembly better than Mr. Stephens did ; but after then he began talking about the Poor-law, the factories, and PRICE sd, I mentioned the names of witness's neighbours, who were mill-owners or guardians. He mentioned the name of Mr. Pownall and Mr. Jackson. Mr. Pownall is Chairman of the Board of Guardians, and Mr. Jackson is another guar. dian Wltness could say not exactly what he said in reference to these gentlemen ; but he quoted some part of Scripture, and said, to destroy a Poor-law guardian was doing God service ; and this languege witness under stood to apply to the gentlemen he had named. Witness also heard him mention the names of Mr. Topping, the vicar; and Mr. Jackson, the curate. He said Mr. Topping's wife had persuaded him not to be a guardian ; Mr. Topping not bring one of them, but having been, one previously. He also mentioned the name of Mr. Jones, a cotton spinner, who has a factory in the neighbourhood, Mr. Jones is not a guardian. Wh( nhe introduced Mr. Jones's came, he was speaking of the factori, s, and the deplorable state which the people were in. He condemned the practices in the factories, and ad vised the people to arm themselves: he told them to get their guns or pikes, and have them over their chimney. pieces. They were to have them ready, and ,I4e would come over, and they were to appoint him their leader. When he came over, he would tell them what they were to do. He then alluded to a lad in Alb e Jones's mill, whom lie said Mr. Jones had struck cr beaten. When the grand - attack' was to be made, they were to go to the factories with a dag ger in one hand, and a torch in the other. He also talked about tarring and feathering Mr. Jones, and sending him as a present to the Commissioners. While he was addressing the people, pistols were frequently let off, and pikes held up. Witness saw a pike himself which had a loaf and a herring stuck on it. The pistols were fired so frequently that Ste phens interfered, and said there was too much cracking; he had hot done cracking himself yet, and they might crack by and hy. Witness saw about twenty pistols himself, and par tits went up and down the street firin g them off. This meet ing excited a great deal of alarm am( n g the peaceable inha. bitants. Witness felt alarm then, and felt alarm in the Court now. Witness did not feel alarmed £0 much during the meet ing as subsequently. Mr. Law here apologiled for having before applied to the Court, which might now seem to be needless. Mr. Step!' ns's friends had spoken to him to defend him ; but, on speaking to Mr. Stephens, he said he wished to conduct his:defence himself. The witness was then cross-examined at great length by Mr. Stephens, and, in answer to questions from him. said the meeting was convened by placards on the walls. He could not tell how many days the placards were posted before the meeting took place, but ho knew it was placarded. He was not aware that it was forbidden by the Magistrates, but it certainly was not forbidden by placard. There was a procession, and the people had banners and flags. There were two pikes, with banners carried on them. The pro cession consisted principally of females. The pikes appeared to he for use, and one of them had a loaf and a red herring at the top of it. The pikes were ground and sharpened up. A labouring man, named Fennell, was called to the Chair at the meeting, who, when he took the Chair, advised the people to be peaceable and orderly, and then called upon Mr. Stephens to address them. When Mr. Stephens spoke, he told them that he had been much misrepresented by the public Press ; tbat they had m e mento,' him as a beast, and as a monster with horns. Stephens—Did I go on to prove that I was not a monster, and that I was a man of peace?—When you gave over you were not a man of peace. I mean for the first half hour?—Yes, for the first halt hour you did. Did I say that, by the constitutional laws of England, the Poor-law was an illegal Act of Parliament?—You quoted many old laws; but whether they were laws or not I do not know. Did I proceed to say it was against the word of God?— Yes. ( Mr. Stephens then quoted various passages of Scrip ture, and asked the witness if he did not mention them ; but the witness repAed that he could not recollect all.) Witness could not say that Mr. S ("hens had spoken any thing against Mr. Topping ; but he should not construe what was said as intended to exalt him is the eyes of his parishion ers, but otherwise. • • • The pistols continued to be fired all the time the meeting was held. They were more quiet when Mr. Stephens requested them to- desist, but still continued to fire at intervals of about tea minutes, when, per haps, a doz-n woeld go off together. Mr. Stephens had not been at Leigh before or since. Mr. Edward Kcnworthy said there questions appeared to be interminable : and if Mr. Stephens wished to throw a doubt upon the evidence, he had better limit his questions to that. Mr. Stephens said that was his objret, but he was quite unacquainted with the proceedings of a Court, and he should be obliged by their calling him to order when he got out of it. From the warrant which had been read, they would see that he stood in a dangerous situation. He added, " I wish to be set right when I am wrong ; and be }end that I have no favour to ask." The witness had stated that he was alarmed, and the inhabitants of Lrigh were alarmed ; and the questions he was putting to him acre _as to the gloind of that alarm. He then continued his ques tions; and, after some others of no importance said, " You have stated, I told the people, wheu the grant attack came, they were t•3,go with a dagger in one hand and a torch in the ether. What grand attack ?—That was left to you as the gene ral. Did .1. tell•them what the grand attack was ? A general rife of the people, I utid6rstood it to be. You did not say a general rise, but they were to have notice of it ; but you did not say what it was fur, nor when it was to be. . . . The millowners, and the guardians, and the 'shopkeepers in the neighbourhood were afraid, but the pOor were not ; they were a peaceable people--he meant the paupers. Another class, between the Riupers and shopkeepers, the labouring class, were many of them not peaceable, Since this meeting, public meetings had been held at the White Horse, and a Committee appointed. Those meetings were - sanctioned by the Magistrates, who had sworn in about 1,400 special con stables about a fortnight or thre, weeks ago. There had been nu riots in Leigh, but some windows had been broken in the country near. Stephens—Will you give that sentence to the Court which I said about tarring and feathering William Henry Jones?— You advised them to kill him, and tar him and feather him, and send him to the Commissioners. William Coward, constable of Leigh for the last seven or eight months, stated that, between intervals of his employ ment of taking in work, he went now and then to the meet ing of the 13th of November. When be first went, Mr. Stephens was addressing the meeting on the condescension of our Lord in the world ; and he wandered from that point to other subjects, quoting the passage of Scripture, " Vengeance is mine ; I will repay, saith the Lord ;" and he added, " What I mean to say is this, that God has perhaps raised up you to fire down these buildings(alluding to the•hous.l round about), and perhaps even that venerable church which our forefathers leave erected." He advised the people to give up their scats in churches and chapels, to take their children from the diffe rent places of worship, and to save their pennies to buy guns, pikes, and pistols. Witness had not time to stay longer then ; but he went to the night meeting about eight o'clock, and witness heard Stephens for about half an hour addressing the meeting. It was a dark night, and the meeting was held by torch. light ; between 12 and 20 torches were lighted. Stephens spoke about soldiers and officers, and advised the people not to be nfreid, for all was right between the soldiers and him ; the oftLers had frequently received his letters and papers into the •mess-rooms ; that the soldiers had repeatedly beard him preach, and loved to hear him, and the people bad nothing to fear from that quarter. He spoke of the•different labours and sufferings that people had to go through in factories, and spoke of women giving suck being confined in those rooms, and said that he had either seen or heard of them being so faint that they had to milk themselves and lie on the floor, and he then alluded to the employers, and fire was mentioned, whe. ther with respect to mills, or to doing something to the em ployers, witness could not tell. He spoke of Mr. Pownall, one of the Poor-law Guardians, and spoke of his being raised from a shoe and a trash (an old shoe worn down), and now be coming a Poor-law Guardian. He spoke of another guardian, Mr. Jackson, as being, or professing to he, a Wesleyan Me thodist, and said that if Wesley were alive, he would spurn such beings from his presence. He then mentioned Mr. Richard Yates, as a local preacher whom the overseers of the town had made into a Poors'-rate collector for the township of Bedford. He called him the diabolical Richard Yates, and said he would die on a dung-hill. He told the meeting that if he lived at Leigh, he would go to the Poor. law Guardians by hell a dozen, a dozen, or two dozen at a time in a body, and he would bring a guardian out. He would not hurt him, but he would take off his coat, waistcoat, and shirt, and he would then get a pillow of feathers, and he would feather him, and get a barrel of ta', and he would tar him right well over, and when he had done that he would say to him, " Go to roost, thou devil !" And if he had wings, and were to fly, they would wonder what kind of a le'rd he was. Witness then left the meeting, but the people continued firing pistols and burning torches. There would be two thousand persons at least pre sent. Witness saw people letting pistols off by holding torches to the pans. Witness saw one or two pikes at the meeting, and he had seen one or two hundred since in the town of Leigh and its neighbourhood, and in the houses of the people. The night meeting excited considerable alarm in the town : and though witness was not often afraid, he must say that he was a litt'e alarmed, and not he alone, but many of his neighbours, at so many discharges of fire-arms. The witness said that, having concluded his evidence as to the meetings, lie must say a word or two as to himself. It was with feelings of regret that be stood there, knowing and having seen .Mr. Stephens repeat edly, hearing him speak of his father, who was a highly re spected Wesleyan minister, and that he himself was brought up in that connection, and witness belts.. him s elf an atten dant at the places of wo r s hi p of that ' body, lie felt great regret at this matter. I t was not his intention to do the least harm to any man in the world. lie loved every man, and hated no one, but he felt bound to declare that, since Mr._ Stephene had been at Leigh, there wa s more irritation among the people th en ever he had before known, and he had lived there many years (thirty-eight, we understood him to say). Since Mr. Stephens had been there, more arms had been col lected together than he had ever before heard of or known. He knew one or ictO smithies now where they were Actually employed making pikes, end he had produced one or two to Sir F. Roe and Mr. .Maude. They were principally of steel, some of steel and iron, and were fourteen or fifteen inches long, with a screw at the one end to screw into a socket, and they were very sharp at the pointed end. This had been'much more actively going on since Mr. Stephens's visit to Leigh, and sayers! gentlemen had been threatened either to have a pike or a ball into them; and he (witness) thought, when a men bought a leer in a shop, and said to the seller, clapping has hand on a pike in his breast, " The next loaf I ,fetch I shall fetch it with this pike," that was enough to alarm any one. That had been said and done since the meeting, as he was credibly in formed. One of the benners at the meeting was inscnibed, " The murders of Peterloo shall never be forgot." Mr. Kenworthy—Do you know of any pikes being made before Mr. Stephens attended this meeting ? Witness—Oh yes : but there hare been many more since. A man I know, who lives at Castle-hill, about four miles from Leigh, told me he had seen two skips full on sale. Witness added that he had never seen any pistols till that meeting. There were dif ferent societies in Leigh, the members of which bad drawn out 11. a piece, for the purpose, as was reported, of purchasing fire-arms. For instance, he knew that the Druids had drawn 1/. a piece, but he could not say positively that it was for that purpose. He was connected with a society, the sick-box of which was worth 1,4001. or 1,500/. ; and there had been two meetings in that club, as a number of the member' wanted to draw 2001. out of the Savings' Bank, as one man said, " to purcha'c umbrellas;" but there was a great majority against it, and witness opposed it. He had reason to suppose that they wanted it to purchase arms. Cross-examined by Mr. Stephens—Witness had heard the evieence of the last witness, Mr. Johnson, and could correbo rate parts of it. After stating that one part of the argument, drawn from Scripture, was reverently and properly conducted by Mr. Stephens, witness represented his evidence as to God firing the hearts of the people of Leigh to fire down buildings, &en; hue witness said he heard n o con di t i ons stated in refer ence to this part of the speech. He took no notes in writing, either at or since the meeting, of what Mr. Stephens had said, but it was very hard impressed upon his mind. Wittiess heard Mr. Stephens ridiculing a minister named Squarebridge, whom he called an infidel, and saying, in reference to him and the Wesleyan Conference, " Will you turn me out again, Squarebridge?" Mr. Stephens said something about Mr. Squarebridge having said that poverty and charity were insepa rable ; but witness had since in conversation told Mr. Ste phens that he bad been wrongly informed on that point. Wit ness thought that Mr. Stephens did say that if Mr. Squarebridge held that doctrine he either did not understand the Gospel he pro fessed to be a minister of, or he was a practical infidel as regarded that doctrine. Witness was examined probably a week or a fort night after the meeting. He was sent f or b y t h e M ag i strates, and told them what h e had heard to the best of his knowledge. He would not say that he had felt no apprehension all the inter val after the meeting, for they had threatened to give him (witness) about four inches of a pike. This was since his examination. Mr. Stephens did not, either at the day or night meeting, say any thing about fire and factories, or firing factories, or b urn i ng f actor i es, that he (witness) heard. ° %Venus had seen a hundred pikes at least since the meeting ; he thought there was one in nearly every house in the town ship of Bedford, and a good many in Leigh ; and the grinders might be seen grinding eight or ten or teenty pikes in open day. He had seen a hundred or two, some in the open air, ethers hanging up over chimney pieces in houses, just as Mr. Stephens had advised them to do, all ground, sharp ened, and ready for action. Tho fact of the two smithies engaged in manufacturing pikes was known generally to the inhabitants ; but be did not know whether the Magistrates knew it. He had not mentioned it either to them or to Sir F. Roe. Witness did not say anything to Sir Frederick at all, but the Magistrates sent for him, and he told them what he knew, and Sir Frederick was present. Witness saw these smithies every day nearly. When the man showed the pike at the baker's shop it was not tendered in payment for the loaf; he bad been getting it g r o un d. Witness did not s ee hi m , b ut was credibly informed so. Wit ness had not heard of pistols or guns being bought or sold in Leigh, either before or since the meeting. There was no riot at the meeting, and there had been none in Leigh since, nor any breach of the peace of this character. Alarm was felt, however, or they would not have sworn in 800 or 400 special constables. The respectable inhabitants were not purchasing fire-arms ; but the special constables were to be armed with truncheons. Except the Peterloo !netting, and this meeting at Leigh of Mr. Stephens, witness had never been at any Radical or levelling meeting. Witness heard Mr. Stephens tell the people that he was neither Radical, Whig, nor Tory. Witness did not recollect hearing Mr. Stephens say that, to the best of his belief, if the Radicals were in power his ( &ephens's) head would be the first head brought to the block. This clteed the evidence for the prosecution, aLout a quarter b e fore seven o'clock. Mr. Duck said he believed that this was the whole of the evidence he was then in a condition to offer to the Bench ; and it became his duty now to submit to the Court, that there was ;abundant ground, on the evidence already before it, to justify them in co.nmitting the prisoner for trial for the offence with which he was charged in the warrant. Mr. Kenworthy—l think so, too ; it is quite within the terms of the warrant, and we are determined to commit him to Kirkdale. Mr. Johnson was recalled by the prisoner, who asked him on what grounds he was was alarmed at the present moment ? The witness said he was apprehensive of being levell, d at by the party of whom Stephens was the head and leader; for although he was not ashamed of coming here to tell the truth, he was alarmed when he saw so many sh-.)rtliand writers, as his name would be conspicuously before the public, and he was aft aid both of personal violence and injury to his pro perty. The reports in the Newspapers would get him picked out by the prisoner's followers. He had already been threatened that he should be the first to be fired at when Mr. Stephens came again with his belt, buckler, and so on. Till he was desired to attend tile Magistrates, he had no idea of giving any ioforrnation ; though he considered there was danger enougb, he did not consider that he was bound to give evi dence. He thought the people had not enough protection at Leigh, and that they ought to have a few soldiers about them. He bad told, perhaps, five of his neighbours that he had beer, examined, and probably twenty of them knew of it ; he neither wished it to be concealed, nor to be made too generally public. A Clerk then read over the depositions of the two wit nesses, which, strange to say, did not contain any of the evi dence given by the witnesses on cross-examination. It is right to add, that they were taken by a clerk of Mr. Smith, the Magistrates clerk at Leigh and tVorsley. Mr. Stephens said he wished to know whether the docu meats just read had been written down from the statements made in Court by the witnesses, or from their statements previously. They did not . strike him as containing the' evi dence given in Court. The - Clerk said the evidence ha i been taken down from the witnesses' eVidence as given in Court, though not so fully, perhaps, as Mr. Stephens might expect—only what was deemed revelant being taken down. Mr. Stephens—l perceive many parts left out. For in stance, one witness is there stated to have said, " Fire was mentioned, but I don't know how;" but in his evidence on cross-examination, and which the Court has not considered relevant, that witness again and again stated and reiterated that neither at the morning nor the night meeting was there anything said about fire and factories, or firing factories, or burning factories ; and that fire, to the best of his knowledge, was not mentioned at all. The Clerk—That certainly came out in cross-examination. Mr. Stephens—Then it is not the practice of this Court to insert in the depositions any thing that comes out in cross examination. Then I have nothing forth& to say to the Court on that subject than to have it distinctly stated and sa tisfactorily understood, that all those circumstances elicited- in my favour, proving that witness to be a perjured witness, were not inserted, Leing considered as not relevant to the case. And with that protest I close my cross-examination. Mr. J. B. Smith—You arc entitled to have your cross examination taken down as evidence, certainly. Mr. Stephens—No, sir; lam perfectly satisfied. I have not another word to say after what I have just beard, and the Court will now proceed to take its own course. Mr. J. B. Smith—lt is certainly the practice of this Court to take all the material evidence, whether on examination in chief or cross-examination. After a pause, during which law-books were referred to, Mr. Duck said that if the Bunch felt a difficulty as to the evi dence of the last witness on cross-examination not being taken down, he nould submit whether there was not abundant evi dence to justify them in committing the prisoner on the state ments of the first witness (Johnson) alone, to which evidence the objection did not apply. He thought there was, in the evidence of Johnson, putting that of Coward entirely out of the question, sufficient to show that this was an unlawful and tumultuous assemblage, and that Mr. Stephens was using in flammatory language that was calculated and likely to lead to a breach of the peace. This would, in fact, sustain the charge on the face of the warrant. Mr. J. B. Smith—lf you have better or more evidence, had you not better give it? Mr. Duck said the objection would be as strong on Monday or Tuesday as at present. He would further submit, that supposing there to have been an irregularity, about which he offered no opinion, that v. ould not in itself be a sufficient ground to compel the Magistrates to abstain from committal. It might be the subject of remark or reflection in another place, but it ought not to deter the Magistrates from committing upon the evidence, as they had heard it ; foe the whole of it had been before them. _ . . Mr. J. might be sufficient to warrant us in remanding to another day, to do away with the irregularity. Mr. Kenworthy's clerk is not conversant with the p ract i ce o f this Court as to taking depositions. - - Mr. Duck —If the Magistrates don't think themselves justi. fled in committing upon the evidence as taken down, I must then to have the pris oner reman d e d to another day, say o Tu Mr. J. 13. Smith—l think that would b e a sat i s f actory course. Mr. Stephens—My protest, Si r , a p p li es equally to both t a e P sd P a next. apply witnesses. I contend that both those witnesses have contra dicted themselves, and that each of them has contradicted the other ; but not a word of the cross-examination having found its way into your papers, my case is closed. I came here into the sanctuary of British justice, and I did not consider it ne cessary to take down a single word of the cross-examination, and I took down but a very few words of that in chief, believ ing myself safe in your hands. But after your decision my case is closed. Mr. J. 13. Smith—Do you wish to say anything why you should not ba remanded? Mr. Law navii,g stated that though the prisoner bad chosen to conduct his own ca c, he bad also told him that be should be glad to consult him on any point of law. He (Mr. Law), LIFE OF WASHINGTON.
